VizieR Online Data Catalog: Probable young stars in the MYStIX project (Broos+, 2013)

The Massive Young star-forming complex Study in Infrared and X-rays (MYStIX) project, described by Feigelson et al. (2013ApJS..209...26F), seeks to identify and study samples of young stars in 20 nearby (0.4<d<3.6kpc) Galactic massive star-forming regions (MSFRs). These samples are derived using X-ray data from the Chandra X-ray Observatory, near-infrared (NIR) photometry from the United Kingdom InfraRed Telescope (UKIRT) and from the Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS), mid-infrared (MIR) photometry from the Spitzer Space Telescope, and published spectroscopically identified massive stars. Our purpose here is to describe our efforts to minimize contaminants in the MYStIX catalogs of young stars, which we refer to as "MYStIX Probable Complex Members" (MPCMs), and to present the MPCM catalog for each MYStIX MSFR. An MPCM catalog is the union of three sets of probable members identified by three established methods for identifying young stars (Feigelson et al. 2013ApJS..209...26F, Fig. 3).
